A responsible century from David Warner ensured that Australia chased a target of 196 runs in 43 overs to secure a five wicket win against Sri Lanka in the fifth and final One-Day International in Pallekele which sealed their 4-1 series win.

After a six-wicket haul from John Hastings bowled Sri Lanka out for 212 runs, George Bailey scored an unbeaten 90 to guide Australia to a six wicket win in 31 overs in the fourth One-Day International in Dambulla to secure an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.

A century from Dinesh Chandimal went in vain as Australia, led by George Bailey’s 70, chased down the target of 227 runs in 46 overs to secure a two-wicket win in a close encounter against Sri Lanka in the third One-Day International in Dambulla.
